Epic of Gilgamesh : Tablet XAs soon as the tavern-keeper saw [Gilgamesh], she bolted her door, bolted her gate, bolted the lock. Gilgamesh spoke to the tavern-keeper, saying: "Tavern-keeper, what have you seen that made you bolt your door, bolt your gate, bolt the lock! If you do not let me in I will break your door, and smash the lock!"
